Calling all Kent/Sussex Miniaturists......

If you live within an hour or so of St. Leonards on Sea, and have a yen to make a miniature toy related project in the company of a few like-minded individuals, you're in luck!I've been 'toying' (can you see what I did there?) with the idea of starting an informal fortnightly class for a while. If I'm scrupulously honest, one of the best ways to get on with the myriad ideas for my own projects is if I'm preparing for other people's!Classes will take place in my home with access to a full range of equipment and tools.Here are just a few ideas for projects you might like to undertake.....

Kits, materials etc are extra, depending on your project.Classes will run in blocks of 5 over 10 weeks and I anticipate starting the first session in June.If you are interested, please contact me and I will add you to my list and send you full information as soon as it becomes available.I am also planning a return to running occasional one day workshops in the autumn so watch out for an exciting announcement coming soon....
